I noticed that different portions of the docs directly went into technical details before motivating things and orienting the reader.

That's bad style at best. At worst  it's the last thing casual visitors ever look at!

The following sections got a makeover:

• Autostart Forth Code
• Background Task
• Idle Task
• Low-level Interrupts in Forth
• The sidebar

The Idle Task page will later get more examples and a technical details section.
